My 73 (June 73) E9 rear window regulators are the newer type and work perfectly when I hook a 12V source directly to the motor. However, no go when I turn the ignition and then try to run them with the rear switches. I have a single window relay up front that locks in place but is fairly crusty. I also have the switches at the center console disconnected. All fuses intact, cleaned the fuse box too. So..
1) I assume I can just bypass the relay without any repercussions by joining the two wires that go to it and thereby identify or eliminate it at a source of the problem?
2) Why do I think I need to install the switches in the center console before the rear switches will work....
